HC Deb 08 December 1983 vol 50 c225W
Mr. Steen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether licences have been issued to a Russian ship working cargo in Torbay and a Russian tug sitting in Plymouth harbour; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

My Department would be responsible for issuing licences to these two vessels only if they wished to receive pelagic sea fish within British fishery limits. No such licences have been issued.
